<p>Hi! I am Faraaz. I'm fairly new to Rust and have been trying to learn more and more about it recently, I've been loving a lot of things about it. I read that it uses LLVM as backend but couldn't find the code responsible for codegen. I read that rustc is not responsible for codegen, can you please point me to the right place? It will be a massive help</p>
